I think they area planning on the 11th for closing day, but if memory serves they don't mind hikers, and there's plenty of snow up there.

Next year when Hunter put their 3/$99 passes on sale, I'm picking some of them up. That place would be sick on a powder day.

Here's some pics from the day. Rocket

Date(s) Skied: 3/29/2010 Resort or Ski Area: Hunter Conditions: Firm, very edgable, very fast Trip Report: So today didn't start out exactly as planned when I over slept by over an hour. Got up to Hunter just around 9:45, got booted up and headed over for my free ticket. After a quick bathroom stop, I ran into Justo and Rose by the ticket window. As we were getting in line, we saw AndyZee and Kingslug. Hunter was awesome today. We didn't really know where we were going, or how we got there but we really didn't care either. The terrain was just so much fun. There were times where we all were having "oh shit" moments on the speeds we were getting on one section. A few runs later Kingslug was back with us and took us down what would become the run of the day for me, but I have no idea what it's called. A run or two later, Ride Deleware and OutCold spotted me in the lift line and we had a nice crew going. For our first trip to Hunter, we were impressed. You can't really compare Hunter to Windham. All things considered, I'd rather go back to Hunter. We headed out a little before two and went over to the Bavarian Manor for food and beer. Both were outstanding. Today is my last planned day of the season. I've very content with that as I've had both quality and quantity this season. I can't wait to sleep in next Saturday. Driving up Rose and Justo Bumps Ride up the Quad

I had a blast today. Great meeting so many new pasr's and to see all the blue regulars!

Ya know, with 3 gopros going down the same run together, we could put together some pretty interesting video

Dan lied to you. Not until the summer.

I've been posting links for that site for 2+ years now!

I hold a lighter under the candle until it's actually on fire. I then let it drip into the area I'm trying to repair. If you let the drop hit the floor, it should make a hissing noise (like lighting a hefty bag on fire...don't ask). Anyway, once that cools down, I scrape it off with a metal scraper, then use an 400 grit sandpaper on the spot to smooth it all in.

Awesome, Looks like there's going to be a shit load of people there. Weather is calling for a dusting of snow as well http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Hunter-Mountain/6day/top

Apparently after closing weekend at Blue, I'm also p-texing some nice grooves.

I think you can ski around it, but I also think you have to hike it. If I hear more, about it I'll post it.

Doing that now.

Awesome man...thanks for the info!

They won't discount it twice (there's a member's 20% off coupon vaild until 4/18). I asked her what they would take off for a floor model and she told me usually only up to 15%, if it's been used. She said this one hasn't been used but with something like this, I don't think I want to go with the demo anyway. I was reading on a gopro board last night about the kingston class 4 cards, but wasn't sure if I should go modest with a 16 or go with the full blown 32. I also downloaded Adobe Premiere last night.

None in stock except for the floor demo. Bummer.

What size memory card are you guys using?

This is the one you guys are using right? http://www.rei.com/product/794062

yeah, I might just have to run over to REI after work. the 20% off code is good for in store as well as online.

Windham does something like this also. They bulldoze piles of snow, then cover it with hay until May.

I'm really thinking about getting a GoPro. I'm impressed with that video. I don't have a mac, so I guess I'm off to work out a PC workflow. Do you run the video through any image stabilization software?

Anyone besides me actually going? If you are...meet up is at the top of the quad by the trail map around 10am. Ski you there!

Justo, what did you use to edit that together?

It would be awesome if we could embed Vimeo on PASR.

Good enough for me! See ya Saturday.
